A lot of the complete economic illiteracy from the twitter/reddit left comes from the fact that they're predominantly literal children, "disabled", or have only ever worked service industry jobs.

Without Star Trek type magic replicators, a world completely composed of anarchist communes would devolve thousands of years of technologically.

For all the commie bitching about the inefficiency and waste of capitalism, centrally planned economies are incredibly wasteful because of rubberbanding over/under-production.

I'm just regurgitating the conclusions of a certain Soviet scholar that I'm sure you love: NIKOLAI SHMELEV :marseycapitalistmanlet: :marseykneel:

I understand what kind of reproaches I am inviting, but the question is far too serious and vitally important for me to soften my language and resort to silence. If we do not acknowledge that the repudiation of Lenin's NEP gravely complicated socialist construction in the USSR, we again, as in 1953 and 1965, condemn ourselves to halfway measures, and it is well known that a halfway policy is often worse than inertia. NEP, with its economic stimuli and levers, was replaced by an administrative system of rule. Such a system by its very nature was unable to concern itself with improving production quality, increasing the effectiveness of manufacturing, or achieving the highest result at the lowest expense. This system achieved the necessary quantities-in gross output-not in accord with the objective laws of economics, but in defiance of them. And because it was done in defiance of economic laws, it was done at the price of inconceivably high expenditures of material and, above all, human resources.

“Repudiating” the NEP early was required bc of not having sufficient time to industrialize before war.

We are 50–100 years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they crush us.

  • Stalin

For the rest, Corn man fricked with Stalin's economy for … reasons and generally made it worse.

That said, poor Shmelev got to see the USSR replaced by modern russia. I'll weep for him.

Too bad they wiped out their industry post-1914. Only took until the 50s to break even.

No argument that the Soviet Union needed a strongly centralized command economy to survive and win a genocidal total war. Every capitalist nation in WW2 also reigned in market freedom and implemented varying degrees of central planning. The Soviets could have reintroduced the full range of NEP policies post-war once the immediate threat was over.

Are you a fan of the NEP?

You're forgetting that they needed to recover from the war's devastation.

Perhaps they could've, but it would've required a world without the Cold War.

are you a fan of the NEP?

Yes.

Good point, they certainly didn't have the luxury of the US after the war of things going back to normal with the country even better off economically than before.

With sufficiently capable computing power that we're probably still many years away from, the fundamental problem of central planning (efficient & responsive planning) goes away. Maybe luxury space communism will be achieved, but it sure as heck won't be gay :pride2022: if it is.

Also I like fracking and oil refining and developing a use for the leftovers of the refinement process and molding plastics and growing rubber trees, harvesting rubber trees and processing rubber trees and making buttons out of the rubber

God, anarchists are mentally 6 years old. I would rather have an argument with a commie than an anarchist, they're not even worth engaging.

They're not even worth engaging because they're a literal non-threat. There's a reason these clowns get absolutely blown the frick out by the more brutal and cynical Marxists/Stalinist when push comes to shove. Even back in the First International they just kept on taking L after L.

Actual commies you take seriously (or at least used to, it hasn't been relevant as a global force since 1989), because you turn your back and that sniveling soy cute twink you underestimated is a chekist writing up lists of people to kill.
